star trek dry dock

thingiverse

I loved the dry dock from one of the Star Trek movies, either the first or second, I'm still not sure. But I do remember enjoying it and wanting to build a model of it. The starship I was referring to is actually from the printable_starship_enterprise_NCC1701-D file. I know this isn't the NCC-1701 from the movie, but it looks pretty cool nonetheless. I found this design on a website and scaled it down to make it more suitable for printing. To ensure stability, I added a support arm that should help prevent the model from toppling over. However, you may still need to use rafts when printing, depending on your setup. I've had great success with using Pledge Future Shine on my bed to prevent warping and improve print quality. It's similar to Elmer's school glue in terms of its adhesive properties, but it provides a more permanent fix that lasts longer.
